Written by AaronWeb on January 16, 2019
Amber Rose, 35, who is well known to have been a stripper has revealed that she also tried to make it as a drug dealer in her native Philadelphia before turning to stripping to make ends meet.
The Curvy model and SlutWalk founder revealed this during an interview with Van Lathan on The Red Pill podcast on Tuesday.
Speaking about overcoming life struggles, Amber said: āStripping wasnāt my first option. You know, I tried selling drugs. I tried selling crack in my neighborhood. And they (drug dealers) were like, āNo,’ā Rose revealed. āThey said I was gonna get robbed, I was a girl, and I was too pretty, and it wasnāt going to happen. So what I did, I would bag it up for them. I would weigh it and bag up the crack rocks for them, and they would throw me some money.ā
Rose said she had to become āthe queen of the houseā at a young age, and that in order to survive, she had to risk it. Rose told Lathan she doesnāt speak about this experience because she ānever wants to tell a sob story,ā but she also spoke about some big rappers who have gotten a pass for being drug dealers before they became famous.
āI feel like rappers always get this pass of, like, āI had to sell drugs to feed my daughter. I had to sell drugs to feed my family.ā [ā¦] Like, āWe made something out of nothing,ā she explained. āAnd when it comes to me, itās like, do I have to give you this story to understand? Itās been nine years since Iāve been famous, and I never told that to nobody [ā¦] Yeah, I was a stripper, and I did what the f**k I had to do to feed my family.ā
